RELICS OF JOHN BROWN.
The Handouts He We're After His Captu
Lead to Shoot Shareholders

The Handouts He Wore After His Capture
Lead to Shoot Shareholders.
Mr.. John c. Comfort of Harrisburg has
added to his laege, interesting and valu-
able collection of relics of the war of the
rebellion several objects which, for his
torical and financial value and interest,
it would be difficult to equal, says the
Harrisburg (Pa.) Telegraph. These OBJ
jects are first, the hand cuffs which were
worn by John Brown of Ossawattomie
! the hero of the Harper Ferry, when he
was hanged in Charleston. Va, on Dec
=, 1859, and second, two triangular pigs
of lead which were buried by Brown near
the mouth of the cave which he made his
rendezvous and hiding place, on the
Maryland side of the Potomac, opposite
Harper's Ferry, and from which place
he made his descent on the arsenal which
resulted in the capture of the building
and his own overthrow, the slaughter of
his sons, and his trial, condemnation, and
execution. This lead was found where it
had lain for nearly thirty years by little
girl, Florence May Thompson, while dig
ging for daisy 1oots. Eneountering the
metal while digging, she called attention
to her discovery and futher, search was
made, and three pigs oflead, weighing $50
pounds, were unearthed. OF these, two
two pigs have been obtained by Mr.. Com
fort. 1t is thought Ossawattomie obtained
the lead in the mines in Missouri; that it
was run IN rude molds made in the sand,
and transported to the cave to be
used IN the operation against Harper's
Ferry.
The handouts which Mr.. Comfort has
added to his collection were obtained at
the time of the execution of Ossawatomie
by Virginian, who bequeathed them to
his daughter. She has frequently been
offered $500 for them, as it stated in the
correspondence Mr.. Comfort had about
them, but always refused to sell. Finally
she yielded, however, and Mr.. Comfort
obtained the coveted prize. They are of
iron. stoutly, and clumsily made, and COW
cred with rust. They are connected with
swivel and two links, and locked with a
screw bolt. AS compared with cuffs of
the present day they are of the most prI-
mitive character, though doubtless as af-
fective for the purpose intended as the
more modern ''bracelet"

A Small Donkey.

The following description of very
small donkey is sent by 4 correspOn-
dent to The LtUe-Stocb Journal, Lon
don: The donkey, although years
old. stands only 80 inches high
and is IL inches long. TWAS purchased
at Montpelier, and some few years
since it attracted the attention of the
king OF clowns, Little Sandy who
acquired it to ride and play tricks with
in the circus. 1t developed into an apt
pupil. and was an especial favorite
with Sandy and his wife, but on the
death of the latter the donkey was
sold, and joined happy family at
Margate. Ultimately this company
was disbanded. and the poor little
animal suffered much from hardship
and neglect until Saunders, of No. 40
Dymock street, Fulham, purchased it
as curiosity and pet for his house
hold, and he takes delight i'll showing
it to animal-lovers. Last week the
prince and princess of Wales aud the
duke and duchess of Westminster
gave audiences to the diminutive curl
osity, which appears to hear these
honors with true asinine complacency.
This small donkey, which has under
gone so many changes in so few years,
is a perfect little model, and for its size
is wonderfully strong. as may be
gathered from the fact that it carried
a fourteen-stone man round room
without an effort.

Death of the Ten-Y ear Man.

A gang of conyicts were clearing
land on a plantation in Mississippi.
They had just chopped 4 large tree un-
til its stately head was lettering in the
air and the woodland giant commenced
to fall. when the word was given to
run. The convict. and guards all re-
treated but one. a negro named Moses
Smith, sent up six months before from
Pamela county to serve a ten years
sentence. Smith was on the side to-
ward which the tree was falling and
made no attempt 20 run He threw
down his AK, folded his arms, and with
a smile playing about his features
gazed steadily upon the falling tree as
il bore swiftly down directly on him.
The guards and other convicts shouted
at the doomed man, but he needed
them not The towering mass of wood
reached the ground. there was crash
of broken boughs. and all was still ex-
cept the echoes which reverberated
through the forest The immense
weight of the tree crushed Smiths
body out Of al shape, and when the
tree was rolled away only fiattened
pile of blood-stained clothing, flesh
and bones remained of the ten-year
man.-Ne1C York Times.

A Curious TPee-ErOg.

One of the most curious and inter
esting reptiles which | met when in
Bornco was II large tree-frog which
was brought me by one of the Chinese
workmen. He assured me that he had
seen it come down in 4 slanting dirrc-
ton, from high tree, rs if it flew. On
examining it, | found the toes very
long and fully webbed to their very
extremity, so that when expanded they
offered il surface much larger than the
body. The fore legs We're also bordcred
bya membrane, and the body was
capable of considerable imitation.
The back and limbs were of a very deep
shining green color, the under surface
and the inner toes yellow, while the
webs were black, rayed with yellow.
The body was about four inches in
length, while the webs of each hind
foot, when fully expanded, covered
a surface of four square inches, and
the webs of all the feet together about
twelve square inches. As the eXtrem-
tiles of the toes have dilated disks for
adhesion, showing the creature to be Il
true trce-frog, it is difficult to imagine
that this immense membrane of the
toes can be for the purpose of swim
ming only, and the account of the
Chinaman that it flew down from the
tree becomes more credible.-La
Nature.

A Ghost Story.


1t was warm night in Mexico. The
air was still and laden with odor! of the
most delightful kind. Peace reigned ev-
erywhere, and the moon was shooting its
bright silver through the rich foliage of
the outrageous trees. A sense of Ian
guor lay over everything, and the silence
predisposed man to dreaming of the
impossible qualification of life. His bed
was laid out under the shade of the veran-
da, and he lay watching the smoke from
the cigar curling up and floating slowly
through the trellised vines. By and by
the smoke ceased to curl, the cigar got
cold and stuck silent between his lips.
His muscles relaxed, his eyes closed, he
slept. Suddenly he seemed to find him
self walking down Jones street in San
Francisco. l am sorry to bring in any
thing SO prosaic as Jones street, but
have to as an act in the COST story. 1t was
Jones street. 1t was the u of March. 1t
was O'Clock in the evening. He ha d
often been there, and he was walking
along briskly toward the house of some
friends. Suddenly figure appeared be-
fore him, a female figure. 1t was the
same woman he had seen two years ago.
that remarkable day up at the ranch.
She approached him and waved him back
He stopped amazed. With a warning
gesture she said:
do not go there! Do not go there!
"Whyf" he asked.
Somebody has died there. Can you
not see the Grape on the door: They are
in deep sorrow. Come away"
"Who has died?"
But before he could look at the door or
receive an answer, he awoke with start
The dream was so vivid that he could not
get it out of his mind. 1t was positively
real. So he sat down and wrote to his
sister in San Francisco. He did no. tell
her what he meant, but asked her simply,
who died ats on the 21st of March?n
He was quite sure. The week went by
and he waited impartiently for an answer.
1t came. He opened the letter trembling
ly. There was death ats on the
2lst of March. How did you know? 1t
was the cat.''
However, there's practical tag to the
COST story that opened up another ques-
ton.
1t seems that when this fellow d rea med
his dream he was SO sure of its truth that
he made bet of dozen bottles of beer
with friend that SOMEBODY had died on
the 21st of March in that house. Nov
the other fellow objects to pay. because
he says cat is not somebody. I don't
know. VIVA, do you think Literally
taken, a cat Is somebody. However, /
can't make anything out OF the matter,
and so they can fight it out themselves.
